well just to tell my mods to this amazing notebook.

Installed a bluetooth module booght on ebay and working like a charm.
Installed the second hdd (bought the cover, ref42.AVB07.001, and the hdd bracket, ref:33.ASR07.003 , separatly). Note: some sites sell hdd kits consisting in three pieces but, if anyone wants to add the second hdd you need only the 2 references above and some screws.

Just bought a remote control and i'm waiting him to test.
Also at the same time i bought remote control i bought two items to be able to put a tv card inside. The items are a mini card bracket ref:42.ASR07.004 and the lower case with a tv cable ref:60.AVL07.001. all this three items cost me 87 €.

After this mods i'll buy the tv card and a new processor.

My OS is windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits (originally came with windos vista Home)

cheers

 

This machine loves 64 bit operating systems, and Windows 7 well updated runs like a charm.

 

My system results

3DMark Score: ~7900 (Haven't checked in a while)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9900 - 3.06GHz
GPU: ATI Radeon 4670 Mobility 512MB GDDR3
RAM: 4GB PC2-6400
HDD: 500GB Momentus XT Hybrid

Just added an Avermedia A301 to my notebook that i bought on ebay.
A301 is an Hybrid tuner (radio, analog tv and digital tv), main problem is to found a driver for it, HP has one but only for Vista.

For all you guys that want to know what type of connector is, it's a smb plug (female) on the antenna side and a smb connector (male) on the notebook side.

So in case you want to buy/install a tv tuner on your notebook but you don't have the tv pre-installation just buy the smb connector (male) and a notebook wifi cable and open the closed hole near the modem/telephone connector.

You need to remove the switch cover and the keyboard to pass the antenna wire. After you connect the tv tuner the antenna and you can mount all the covers.

Cheers

60.AVL07.001 is the lower case complete with tv cable.
